The situation in the country’s Chinhoyi diocese is no different. Here, people have to fight for survival every day. The church tries to help wherever it can but this is by no means an easy task. Today, the diocese is undergoing a profound change: it is about to transform from a mission church into a local church. And Chinhoyi’s young, native priests are ready for the challenge. Motivated by their deep faith, they have a vision they want to turn into reality.
